March 29-April 1, 2010
Dear Families,
Hope everyone had a good weekend. Don’t forget Spring Break is next week! For the next
month we will be learning about Spring from flowers to insects and spiders. We have lots of fun
hands on activities for the children. They will get to: explore real worms (measuring, comparing,
counting, using magnifying glasses), plant grass seeds and flowers, and paint with pastel colors.
It looks like we’ll need another week to complete assessments. PLEASE make sure to return the parent
assessment as soon as possible. We still have a few out. If you aren’t sure what this is or don’t remember
receiving one, please let us know so we can send a new one home. We need this form in order to
complete your child’s assessment.
Egg Hunt:
We would like to have an egg hunt April 14th. Please bring 8 filled eggs with whatever treat you
would like to put in there (examples: candy, stickers, tattoos, ring, plastic animals….) by April 13th. This
way everyone will find the same number of eggs. If you aren’t able to do this please let us know so
that we can make sure everyone has eggs.
Kindergarten Registration:
After spring break, we will be sending home kindergarten packets; you do not have to
come in for the registration dates. Just fill out the information and send it back to school. Also,
you do not have to resubmit your child’s birth certificate, social security card, eye exam,
physical, and immunization (as long as everything is up to date). We will be sending all that
information on with your child.
Preschool Screening:
We sent home information about preschool screening last week. If your child is
returning to preschool next year, you don’t have to have your child screened again. This
information is just so you can pass it on to anyone you know whose child is old enough for
preschool.
Activities to do at home:
plant flowers, start a vegetable garden, go on a nature walk and discuss all the changes
you see happening and listen to all the sounds of spring, and fly a kite! Enjoy
Important Dates:
April 5th-9th- Spring Break
April 14th Egg Hunt (bring 8 filled eggs by the 13th)
April 13-14th- Kindergarten registration (we will send packets home, and you
can return paperwork in your child’s backpack)

May 28th and June 4th- Preschool screening (don’t have to rescreen your child if

Have a great week and enjoy your Spring Break!
Ms. Sara, Ms. Mary and Ms. Teresa
